WHAT A SORE LOSER!!
(From the Daily Herald)
Link, about to start his 14th year in the Senate, had 98,735 votes, or 12 percent of the total. He said he was disappointed by the results.
"I ran for this office because I wanted it, it's something I've thought about for some time," he said. "It's disappointing to see how it all turned out."
Link then blasted Cohen, the apparent winner in the Democratic race, for trying to "buy an election." Cohen spent nearly $1 million on the race, while Link spent less than a quarter of that.
"I'll be honest, it looks like campaign finance reform means nothing in Illinois," he said. "The race is being led now by someone who's unqualified for the job, but decided he'd buy his way in. That will make things tough for this party in November."
